Green Energy Smart Solutions provides its customers with products and services from the world's top manufacturers of wind turbines. We can accommodate installation sizes from households to wind farms.
Site Analysis
Our large scale wind-power project engineers will conduct a thorough site analysis to determine your needs and the proper type and placement of the system. This Feasibility Study evaluates your land usage and provides for the optimized ROI for your project.
Our large scale wind projects feature turbines that offer up to 5 MW of power, suitable for any size project.
Wind power is the fastest growing of the renewable energy technologies, though it currently provides less than 0.5 percent of global energy.
- Wind power applications are growing at the rate of 38%+ per year.
- Every year wind power becomes more mainstream and is increasingly found everywhere, from small remote cabins to ranches, homes, businesses, schools, retail operations and countless other locations.
- Green Energy Smart Solutions offers it's customers only the best and most dependable turbines available for virtually any application.

Over the past decade the global installed maximum capacity increased from 2,500 MW in 1992 to just over 40,000 MW at the end of 2003, at an annual growth rate of near 30 percent. Globally, wind power generation increased more than fivefold between 2000 and 2007. Wind power is renewable and produces no greenhouse gases during operation, such as carbon dioxide and methane.
Report: 20% of US energy could be from wind by 2030. Two decades from now Americans could get as much electricity from wind turbines as from nuclear power plants, says a government report that lays out the possible plan for wind-energy report. The report made public May 13, 2008 was a collaboration between Energy Department research labs and the industry. "The report indicates that we can do this nationally for less than half a cent per kilowatt hour if we have the vision," said Andrew Karsner, the Energy Department's assistant secretary for efficiency and renewable energy. "The United States possesses abundant wind resources," says the report, spearheaded by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado.

Small wind generation systems with capacities of 100 kW or less are usually used to power homes, farms, and small businesses. Isolated communities that otherwise rely on diesel generators may use wind turbines to displace diesel fuel consumption. Individuals purchase these systems to reduce or eliminate their electricity bills, or simply to generate their own clean power.
Wind turbines have been used for household electricity generation in conjunction with battery storage over many decades in remote areas. Increasingly, U.S. consumers are choosing to purchase grid-connected turbines in the 1 to 10 kilowatt range to power their whole homes. Household generator units of more than 1 kW are now functioning in several countries, and in every state in the U.S.
In urban locations, where it is difficult to obtain predictable or large amounts of wind energy, smaller systems may still be used to run low power equipment. Equipment such as parking meters or wireless internet gateways may be powered by a wind turbine that charges a small battery, replacing the need for a connection to the power grid.
